I'm an ophthalmologist with a posterior polar cataract and it's really affecting my work. I struggle during surgeries and it's making me depressed. Other doctors recommend surgery but I don't want to lose my accommodation before turning 35. What are my options to manage this without surgery right now?

A posterior polar cataract can impair surgical work and needs careful timing.Speak to an ophthalmologist about safer timing and interim solutions like glasses.

I have pretty bad myopia with -20 in my left eye and -23 in the right it's getting really tough to manage daily life. I'm considering ICL surgery but not sure which hospital in India would be the best for such high prescriptions. Any recommendations based on experience with extreme cases like mine?

For high myopia, LVPEI Hyderabad and Sankara Nethralaya Chennai are best for ICL surgery.

If the power of the lenses is not incresing,and constant,you can undergo lasik after 22,if you are fit for the lasik.The charges depend upon the type of lasik surgery, type of institution,and city,and surgeon. Pl consult Ophthalmologist for further evaluation and treatment.
